2007 Eastern and Western Dates?

[lildeb724]

I am planning on faxing in a suite request for October 2007 and would prefer to do the Eastern Cruise (Though I am flexible). I was hoping that someone on this board would know which weeks would be Eastern in 2007. Maybe there is a link somewhere? Thanks in Advance

You don't need to know which week DCL will be doing the Eastern cruise. Just send in your fax stating that you want to do the Eastern cruise any week in October 2007. HTH

I don't think that DCL has released 2007 dates yet. Their website has only posted through 2006, and I don't believe they're taking reservations past this point. I don't know how that impacts a suite request or if it does.

In 2006, it looks like the Magic is starting to reduce the eastern itinerary to every fourth week, with the rotation going:

Eastern
Western
"Special" Western (2 stops at CC, Costa Maya, Cozumel)
Western
Eastern

If this rotation (which begins in May 2006) stays in place, the eastern dates would be Jan. 27, Feb. 24, Mar. 24, Apr. 21, May 19, Jun. 16, Jul. 14, Aug. 11, Sep. 8, Oct. 6, Nov. 3, and Dec. 1.

Of course this is assuming an awful lot on my part. There may yet be new itineraries in 2007. They may move the ship to the west coast again for part of the year. The phantom third ship may be in service. The dates I listed basically assume that they will do everything in 2007 the way the did (or at least the way they currently plan to do) everything for the last 2/3 of 2006. I'm not prepared to wager on my being right.
